Dow built for his sister, Dorthy Arbury, is truly a masterpiece. The home has remained in the family since its design and construction in 1939. This is the first public offering of this spectacular home and property. Alden B. Dow was a prominent American architect known for his unique contributions to mid-20th-century architecture. Born in 1904 in Midland, Michigan, he was heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, with whom he studied. Dow's architectural style is characterized by its organic integration with the environment, innovative use of materials, and emphasis on harmony between structure and nature. His designs often feature flat roofs, geometric shapes, large windows, and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The Arbury Residence is a stunning example of his prominent work.

One wing hosts four family bedrooms, providing ample private space. The opposite wing encompasses the kitchen, dining room, and screened porch, with the dining room standing out for its elegant tall mirrored walls and a ceiling grid of 36 square mirrors, each corner illuminated
